Birding - Alesches is located in near the Sax-Zim Bog which is one of the top birding spots in Minnesota. The Northern Goshawk, Sharp-tailed Grouse, Ruffed Grouse, Great Gray Owl, Black-backed Woodpecker, Black-billed Magpie, Gray Jay, Boreal Chickadee, and Red-breasted Nuthatch are just a few of the permanent residents found year round in the bog, with more species visible in either the winter or summer months. It's a great spot to bird-watch and photograph both birds and other native wildlife. For more information on birding in the area, view our Birding page.
